About Steamed buns

Steamed buns, often referred to as "bao" or "baozi," are a popular item in Chinese cuisine. These soft, fluffy buns are made from a simple combination of flour, yeast, sugar, and milk, then steamed to achieve their light texture. Typically, they are filled with a variety of ingredients, ranging from savory options like pork, chicken, or vegetables to sweet fillings like red bean paste or custard. Steamed buns are lower in fat compared to fried counterparts, making them a lighter option in terms of preparation. However, their nutritional profile varies depending on the filling, as some versions may be higher in calories, sodium, or sugar. Vegetarian fillings can offer more fiber and nutrient-rich components, while meat-filled buns may be higher in protein. A staple in East and Southeast Asian cuisines, steamed buns are both satisfying and versatile, enjoyed as a main dish, snack, or accompaniment.
